4.12.2005 Vista: Antispyware, Yes. Antivirus, No
Why are Microsoft watchers surprised that Microsoft has no plans to integrate antivirus software into Windows? Redmond sees bigger dollar signs in antivirus services.
Microsoft officials have been saying for quite some time that Windows Vista will ship with antispyware software built into the operating system. But for more than a year, Microsoft's top dogs have been quite clear that Microsoft has no intentions to bundle antivirus software into the product.

4.2.2009Report: little-known AV packages outdo those of Symantec, McAfee, Microsoft
Andreas Clementi, who runs the
web site
http://av-comparatives.org/>av
-comparatives.org, has
released his latest report
that looks at how well
antivirus programs do against
threats that have not yet been
identified and included in
standard AV signatures.
The test looked at 17
different products, including
offerings from Symantec,
McAfee, AVG, Kaspersky, and
Microsoft, and tested how well
releases dated February 2
(with no updates) fared
against a swath of new
malwareviruses, scripts,
trojans, and other nastiesthat
were discovered between
February 2 and May 2.
The winner of this
antivirus sweepstakes was a
product called
http://www.avira.com/en/pages/
index.php>Avira, which managed
to detect and defeat 71
percent of the unknown
malware. Right behind it was
the equally-obscure NOD32,
which swept away 68 percent of
the threats. The more
well-known commercial products
fared more poorly. Norton
Antivirus and McAfee tied at a
mere 24 percent, while
Microsoft's OneCare did even
worse by only identifying 18
percent of the new threats.
Resting at the bottom of the
barrel were Kaspersky and
eScan at nine percent, and
AVG, which detected only eight
percent of malicious software
in addition to producing many
false positives...

13.09.2006Apple Recommends Antivirus Software
Apple has issued a technical note about Mac antivirus software, and, for the first time, suggests that Macs need such software. The note says: "Apple
encourages the widespread use of multiple antivirus utilities so that virus programmers have more than one application to circumvent, thus making the
whole virus writing process more difficult." The note then goes on to mention three antivirus programs, with Intego VirusBarrier X5 listed first. It
is worth noting this, since Apple, especially in its recent "Get a Mac" ads, has always publicly tried to ignore the threat of malware to Macs, as
well as other security issues.

Systems Security Association
conference in London on
Thursday, Vanjer Svajcer,
senior virus researcher for
Sophos, said companies should
also look to alternative
technologies and procedures to
ensure their IT assets are
secure.
Svajcer
said: "I always say, 'Do not
rely on antivirus software'.
In 99 per cent of cases you
cannot. The problem is we have
to see a virus before we can
detect it. If antivirus is in
place, it may not detect [a
virus] because it may be very
targeted for you."..

09.09.2005OneCare places 16th in antivirus test, 13th in spyware.
Virus Bulletin this month released the results of a major comparative of the latest security products, covering a range of metrics. These include
detection rates over various types of malware, false positive rates, scanning speed, proactive detection, and response times to outbreaks.
Taking a look at the first one, detection rates, it's clear that a beta version of GDATA's AVK 2009 (which uses the Avast and BitDefender
scan engines) took first place for both malware (measured against 1,164,662 samples) as well as ad- and spyware (94,291 samples). Avira's Premium
Security Suite 2008 was second for malware, F-Secure 2009 was second in ad- and spyware, and Secure Computing's Webwasher gateway product came
third in both categories.
he most interesting data to emerge from this measurement (4 week span) was that the 2009 version of Norton topped
the table with an impressive 6,202 incremental micro-updates, issued several times per hour, while Kaspersky came a distant second with a mere 696.
Half of the 34 products tested had fewer than 100, including those from McAfee (21) and Trend Micro (30)

07.06.2006America to crack down on blogger payola
US regulators are to crack down on bloggers who fail to disclose money or gifts received from companies when reviewing their products. In the new
policy from the Federal Trade Commission, offending bloggers could eventually face fines of up to $11,000 (£6,900) per violation, according
to the BBC. So-called payola schemes have increased in recent years, with marketers realising the potential of encouraging bloggers and forum
contributors to produce reviews or testimonials on their products in exchange for money of freebies. Although the guidelines released by the FTC are
not binding by law, they are interpretations of the law that hope to help advertisers comply with regulations, such as those on disclosing
endorsements.

10.11.2006Neowin Review: Symantec Norton Internet Security 2009
Back when I got my first PC, there wasn't a need for Antivirus software, malware wasn't heard of, and Spam came in a can, and could arguably
be called a tasty treat. Now, you just about can't run a PC without some sort of Antivirus/spyware protection, especially if you're connected
to the internet (something we'd only be able to use if we were students at the local college). Back in late 1990, Symantec released their first
Antivirus software, called Norton Antivirus (from the original company name, and founder, Peter Norton). At the time, it was considered one of, if
not THE best AV software out there.
